[Build Thread] -- Journey to 700+ WHP [Supercharger]

Everything listed *could* be linked to lack of proper attention during installation. Too much transmission fluid? Possible incorrect install of catalytic converters? Drivetrain vibration at everyday speeds? An oil leak

Everything listed *could* be linked to lack of proper attention during installation.

Too much transmission fluid? Possible incorrect install of catalytic converters? Drivetrain vibration at everyday speeds? An oil leak that is moving fast enough to spot in one day?

If you had taken the car to get the install complete and it came back to you like this, I would assume that you'd be livid. Yet you state that it drives fine?

Take your time to iron out the kinks in the system before you continue to smash the gas.

Right...
Did you even read what the post said?
Fluid is not the issue...lol

Drivetrain vibrations only found out if i went 60mph otherwise it would have never been known..

Not an incorrect install of cats. They only go one place or nowhere at all...lol

As for your infornation i am ironing out these kinks but alot of them could not have been known without driving the car in the first place

Thank you
And yes. The car drives fine given all the things that was put into the car at once and to only have these current small minor issues is a huge accomplishment in my opinion.

Esp knowing a million other things could have went wrong and way worse.

So yes. I am taking my time....>.>


[Update]

Nissan Dealership gave me an update:

They said they are still charging me for 1 hour of labor, but it looks like it won't be done until tomorrow.
So either they never brought it into the shop yet and it's still in the service parking waiting area or, they did bring it in and they are doing who knows what to it, but still charging me 1 hour.

I /do/ know the guy who took care of me is hooking me up for 1 hour of labor when they told him they wanted to charge for 2 hours, which is nice of him.

He assured me he would take care of me and when I was talking to him in person, I could tell he really meant it too.

And he said they wouldn't do any labor and charge me for it without calling and asking my approval which, is perfect cause I was scared they were keeping it so long today and doing more labor only to charge me like 50 more hours out of nowhere lol. Just wanted to make sure they didn't do anything shady because we all know how them dealerships can be nowadays...!

So yeah, that's the update so far
